I'm keeping my eyes open for more Collard Lizard content. They are in my top 3 reptiles I would like to keep.

I've been watching reptile content for 6-8 years and this was the first time I'd heard about 5-3 and you're the only channel (of the 3-4 related ones I watch) that talks about the other two.

[@davidjager23]

I knew you were gonna have mountain horned dragons haha I've been keeping and breeding them for 2 years now and they're just so cool and chill. I was into them and breeding them before they were "cool"!

[@iamjamilyn]

Collard lizards are cute.😊

[@tuvelat7302]

I'd love to have a Sara. I wanted to try a cheaper animal (Crestie) first to make sure I'm doing it right. We finally got our Crestie this summer and he's fun.

[@Agg1E91]

So, two collard lizards were what I saw in my Texas backyard back in early June. I was wondering. These were the drab sort. They were chillin' on the ground near a tree. I didn't hassle them.

[@MountSkyReptiles]

Not me knowing every species on the list and have worked with majority lol. Great video always a fun watch!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

That’s wicked!

[@nicholas87541]

Already subscribed... and definitely looking forward to collared lizards content!! Mountain Horned Lizards also awesome!

[@mlouism2minotti748]

Another great video., very interesting and informative as usual.

Mountain horned dragons for the win!! 🥰😍👏🏻👏🏻

Another great mini class, always fun to learn about something new. Thank you Adam!🦎❤👍

Can’t wait to see your Collared lizard set up! That’s something I really want to work with one day!

[@lindadumarwah7341]

I can't wait to see your new lizard! Will you get the blue one or the more red'ish? Love this video ❤

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

it's a surprise :)

[@AuroraExotics]

That blood balls joke 💀🤣 Looking forward to seeing more on collared lizards!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

thanks! I can't wait to get them!

[@rachaels8leggedwonders448]

“Blood Balls” had me dying! 😂😂😂

[@CosmicCritter]

I also think a good honorable mention would be African Fat-tailed Geckos. I never see them as much but having around 30 geckos, they are by far the best pet gecko that isn't too terribly hard to keep. They're much slower and easier to handle than Leopard Geckos, very easy to keep as a colony for those who can properly co-hab them. And their diet is the same as various other "beginner" bug eating geckos. Not to mention they come in a decent little variety of morphs. I wish they were more common at reptile shows otherwise I can only seem to find them on MorphMarket.

[@monkeykoder]

I think we need to ditch "beginner", "intermediate", and "advanced" in favor of "pet", "hobbyist", and "professional". It's more of a level of dedication rather than a true difficulty for most of them.

[@Sophhh2513]

I love ur videos so much!!! Keep up the good work!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I really appreciate that!

[@sixteezchild]

I'm thinking about maybe getting a collared lizard. I love lizards but just can't handle a big one or a super expensive one. However, I do live in Texas and I know this is part of their region. YES...more collared lizard info would be great!

[@tylerchaney3948]

I've got a Sara and she's freaking AWESOME!

[@ja72737]

My son and I keep Alligator lizards from our backyard and they are a lot of fun! They are really good hunters.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

wicked!

[@Sophhh2513]

PLEASE make a care guide on mountain horned dragons!!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I absolutely will

[@TheGenericDragonKeeper]

@@WickensWickedReptilesI want a hog island boa would a 4 or 5x2x2 work or should I wait and get a collared lizard in a 4x2x2

[@brettmorton2997]

I'm super curious about this species. I learned about them last year and have been researching like crazy, but hardly anyone in Canada has any info on them!

[@sarahmoorcroft8826]

I’m in Australia, and I’m pretty content with only being allowed to keep natives- but the exception to that is the satanic leaf tail gecko. The coolest looking gecko imo

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

very true

[@ERBros.]

Thanks for the shoutout! 🤙🏼

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

love the channel bro!

[@iamabraincube777]

Nice ring Adam…:) so happy for you!!

Madagascan plated lizards (Western Girdled lizard) not making the list😅 mine is an absolute nightmare and doesnt let me anywhere near 😅 Congrats to you and your partner on the wedding. All the best

[@kailman7096]

Manscaped is my favorite lizard

[@Tom-repgeck]

Great video. I would also add Viper Geckos, Gargoyle Geckos and Mourning geckos. All are pretty easy IMO. :)

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I Agree!

[@ingeniouspixie]

Ohmydog 🤦🏻‍♀️ "Blood 🏀🏀... But you don't want to when you're trimmin'." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@pyromaniac979]

WE NEED!! a Painted agama care guide. I haven't been able to find one online beside's Clint's and it would be awesome if you made one. Espeically as they "may" be a "better" beardie

[@CatDragon2]

Noooo 😭 where are the Schneider's skinks? I hope to get one maybe in the next year, but I never kept reptiles before (except geckositting crested geckos for 3 weeks). Are they not for beginners? I fell in love with emerald tree skinks because of Clint, but then you and All Canadian Reptile Girl started speaking about Schneider's skinks and I fell even MORE in love. I just hope I can find one at some point shipping to Quebec 😅 Great video as always tho, even if I'm sad my favs weren't included haha

[@lizlilliman3644]

My dream reptiles both collared lizards but most of all horned mountain dragons.my husband has on on his phone as his lock screen. We saw and fell in love with them at Chester zoo. I never thought they would be beginner friendly. I have 3 beardies at the moment so only want beginner friendly reptiles. Although have to wait till my daughter leaves home as she says she will leave if I get another reptile.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I love the species

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video as always

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

thanks so much!

[@iamabraincube777]

Thanks Adam for supporting lil man if ykyk

[@norarivkis2513]

Please do a video on best frogs? And/or best amphibians in general?

[@N.Sniper]

My pick: RANKIN'S DRAGON, also known as pygmy bearded dragon, because unlike the collared lizard they actually ARE a small bearded dragon. 😀 They are so underrated but the perfect lizard if a central beardie is to big for you. And they cohab very well as they live in small groups in the wild. I got a pair as my first lizards and I love them so much. The cutest lizards ever. Yes I will continieu to harrass you about the Rankin's untill you mention it in a video like this. 😉

Mountain Horned Dragons are so common here in Malaysia. We used to catch and play with them in the fields after school. They are indeed so dang cute... Maybe after this video, I'll try to keep a couple of them as pets 😁

[@nunyabisness4300]

Madagascar is such an amazing place.

[@GrizzlyDave85]

You should look into pictus geckos! I’m keeping and breeding them right now, they’re so hardy and don’t mind tropical or even semi-arid environments. Very adaptable and easy to keep.

[@RandomAnything-su5wf]

I live in central CA and my current plan is to replace my exotic animals with native analogs as they are all at least middle aged. collared lizards are at the top of that list, along with banded geckos, chuckwallas, garter and gopher snakes. Already got my rosy boa and ornate box turtle, they are fantastic.

[@kurtisprodrive9277]

Ive had a mountain horned dragon capra a month and he is brilliant love him just ordered him a lady friend

[@spimeminister]

5 lined skinks make great pets. I heard they're the only skink native to Canada.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

they sure are

[@spimeminister]

​@@WickensWickedReptilesfast as heck too. I chased one for a while because she was way to pretty not to.

[@Jobin14]

Only lizard native to Ontario, but not the only lizard or skink in Canada. I think Canada only has 5 endemic species of lizards and 3 are skinks lol. Not a lot to choose from in such a vast country hahaha.

[@spimeminister]

@@Jobin14 ohhh ok yeah.

[@ShellySiconolfi]

Can you make another bearded dragon care guide I really want one i have watched your video for so long you are so entertaining

[@Hogstrictors]

Iv always wanted to keep a lizard but never have because most need daily feeding, but those collords lizards look really fun to keep and eat insects which seems easier then some of the other lizards. Im going to start learning about them and looking forward to seeing yours. Thanks adam

Collared lizards are tough to get here in Canada. If you find one for shipping, it will be close to $500 CAD.

[@MrTrevrep]

Hello, love your videos. Question. I live in Alaska and would love to know of a lizard that dose not need the specialty lights and can thrive in 70 to 80 degree temps. I know it's wishful thinking but never hurts to ask. Peace luv n happiness to all.

[@galaxystudious]

I live in BritishBritish Columbia where can I find Fiji banded iguanas for sale?

[@pikagirl8224]

You know people in Texas that see collared lizards all the time? I've lived my whole life in Texas and never even heard of them! The only thing in my area are house geckos and fence lizards. And the fence lizards are new to me since i moved a few hours away from where I was. I used to only see house geckos and green anoles.

[@Odd_one111]

giant/Madagascar day geckos should be on this list, I just got one and it's 100% my easiest reptile

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

they are awesome!

[@BaldguyWifi]

Very fragile tho. At least maybe for some beginners

[@andrewroy9263]

I would put spearpoint on the list, not phants, personally.

[@newforestpixie5297]

The teenaged lad next door bothered his mother enough that she gave in & bought him his own Kimono Dragon. She’d already one in her front room - living in a glass tank measuring a metre by half a metre with a couple of rocks & 3” of sand. The lad held his in a Guinea Pig type cabin in his room. We always fed her various pets when they went away. We visited them at Christmas & noticed how bored the dragons looked & the miserable conditions they faced - dirty water , dried leaves , poops uncleared etc. The mum must’ve picked up our horror when exclaiming how their weekly dun-out was due …The sight of both of these animals was heartbreaking but on being given the door key around the following Easter , i felt like exploding because the lads’ creature was not only surrounded by ignorance of care or interest - in a dark room , the same small tank & a bulb which didn’t appear at all UV etc ,was unconscious & had lost weight…. I cleaned the waste & left fresh food & water & tried to tempt the thing but he was extremely unresponsive at first. To cut a long story short we almost fell out with them on their return but the mum did take advice & after trying to improve their standard of care eventually re homed hers to a friend of their veterinary but the lads’ dragon died before the next Christmas. Anyone considering owning a reptile must seriously want to devote proper time , money , a secure but large space & actually love the creatures because they are folks of their own. They aren’t Objects or Toys. 😔👍🐢❤️

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

What a story

[@fullonsociopath]

Was surprised to see phantasticus on this list. I bought a pair nearly 20 years ago, for around 600, which is like 3.7 million in todays dollars. One only lasted overnight, and the other died within 72 hours. Never considered them since.

[@iamjamilyn]

Ouch 😮

[@jsav4269]

I breed them, as long as that temp never EVER goes over 80 degrees they do great! I’ve produced dozens of them, never lost a single baby, they eat well and grow really fast

[@Sigmaboy69420-j]

Also I really like sarasinorum geckos

[@unfortunatelymad980]

Cat geckos, pretty much in the same boat as Chinese Cave geckos but smaller and even less known about.
